In his New Year's message, Mr. Groulx asked that French |Quebecers turn more and more to the State of Quebec, a kind of collective thinking which would ensure the "majority race {mastery over its own destiny."

(CP) -- Thirteen - year - old Donald LaPlante performed the toughest task of his life Thurs- day. He shot his dog after it had just saved his six-year- old sister Linda from being attacked by a rabid fox. Skooter, a three - year-old brown - and - white collie and Donald's constant companion, held the crazed fox at bay in the farm yard while Donald ran for his father's shotgun. He killed the x with one blast. They were called to. the yard by Linda's cries when the fox, which had been chas- ing a cat, turned on the g.rl. When the boy's father, Da- vid LaPlante, told him Skooter would probably have to be-destroyed because she might have been bitten or scratched in the fight, Don- ald decided he'd do it him- self.
